There’s nothing morally wrong with having sex on the first date, but it may not be a good strategy. Especially if you think you want something serious with the person. Back in the 1970s, sex on the first date was the norm. But it’s not the 1970s anymore.

Don’t get too crazy. Situations like this can lead to poor decisions. Take your time, and enjoy it.

You have to work harder now than ever before. The trend started by Ronald Reagan is now almost complete. You pay taxes but the wealthy don’t. You work endless hours but the bosses don’t. Every time you get a raise the corporations take it by raising prices. I sleep a lot but I’m in my 70s.

Well, I guess you found out that he doesn’t value you.
